On Your Mac

If you have OS X 10.9 Mavericks or later, we recommend using the iBooks app (which comes pre-installed on your computer and is also available for free download). If you have an earlier version of OS, we recommend using Kindle for Mac.

You can see which version of OS X you’re using by clicking on the apple icon () on your desktop’s upper left corner and selecting About This Mac.

On Your iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch

You can preview your book on your iOS device using the free iBooks app (which you can download from iTunes for free if your device doesn’t come with the app pre-installed).

If you are on your iOS device:

Open the email we send with links to your preview files on your iOS email app

Click on the “epub” link to download the .epub file

You will be redirected to Safari when the file downloads

When prompted, select Open in iBooks

Important: If you are previewing your converted .epub files currently in production, please note that iOS devices cache CSS. Before downloading an updated .epub file, delete the old .epub file from your iBooks library and switch your device off and on again. Otherwise, you may not see updates.
